Veeam Recvorey Orchestration - Recovery Plan shows in-use forerver

Hi Heroes, hope you all are good.

I’m using VRO 7.2 , I have  executed a recovery plant hours ago, but on recovery plans steps it shows in-use, but the recover worked.
Does anyone have an ideia why it still in-use? 
If I reset it, it will be OK,

Hi ​@AndrePulia , you should reset the plan (after reviewing what happened in Plan Details view!)

​VRO retains the in-use status until you reset, the main reason being - if we reset the plan (back to Enabled status) the moment it was finished - then all the records in Plan Details would be wiped. The instant that the plan finished, we would remove all the history of what happened!

You could go to the VRO reports page and open the report with the same info of course! But it seemed more convenient to hold the plan in “in-use” status so you can see all the results for every VM and step.

If you are finished reading the output, then just Reset the plan and it will be ready to restore again.

Since it is your homelab my suggestion is to reset it to see.  Not sure as I don’t use VRO much but being a lab if something breaks you can repair.  😋

Not sure as well as I haven’t configured a Plan in my lab yet 😋

Maybe ​@AlecKing has an idea?

Hi ​@Chris.Childerhose if I reset it, the in-use status disappear, I did that already :-)

Hey ​@AndrePulia, this should be an expected behaviour, as your job did what it has to do.

See: Plan States and Modes - Veeam Recovery Orchestrator User Guide

 

It’s a lab, but why you are still working with 7.2 ant not 13? 😀 You should take a look at this version; the whole UI looks a bit different...

HI ​@AlecKing 

I'm sorry for reaching out so late; I only had the opportunity to read your post today.

Thank you very much for clarifying this behavior. I completely understand why the plan remains in the "In Use" state.

Thank you! I really appreciate that.

Hi Marcus,

Thank you very much for clarifying that.

That's a good question: why am I using v7 instead of v13? The reason is that the courseware is based on v7, and I need to practice using the same version. After I finish studying v7, I plan to study v13 as well.

I'm not sure whether the exam questions are based on v7 or v13, so I will study both versions. I just hope I'll be able to keep the differences between them clear in my mind. 🙂
